Description
Noueni - Japanese for "On top of" describes this abstract game.
In Noueni each player has their own unique deck of 18 cards. Each card is broken up into two halves and each half has a scoring orb on it. The goal of the game is to have the most visible scoring orbs.
Laying new cards follow a simple set of rules:
1) Connectors on connecting edges must match in number (0, 1, 2, or 3 lines.)
2) New tiles can be placed next to a tile, or overlapping one half of other tiles.
3) A tile may not completely cover another fully exposed tile.
Just because the rules are simple doesn't mean that finding the best place to put a tile to cover up your opponent’s orbs and protect your own is easy.
Make sure you end up on top.

Noueni is a fun tile laying game that is perfect to bring to the pub (back in the before times ... before C-19). Two improvements I would have liked to have seen... the rules done on the same size car...

The rules are simple. The game gets more fun with experience. and you learn to be a bit more cut throat. My friends and I love playing this game. It can move a little slow if you let people think too ...

I adore this game. I bought it along with the expansion pack to bring as a warm up time filler on game night and it rocked! Here are my two (imminently fixable) critiques: 1. If you have any colorblin...

Liked it, but not really challenging. We've only played two players but the choices and options seem limited and it was hard to generate a strong tactic.

Bought with the expansion for Game Night. Easy to learn. Looks great. Can slow down at the end of the game as you're trying to find the best move and counting points.

I did enjoy this game. I have yet to play it 3-4 players, but I think it would be good. With 2 players however, there is a ridiculous advantage to the player who does not go first... The nicest thing...

An excellent game. Definitely not under 30 minutes though if you have more than 2 players. Easy to learn, easy to play, downright elegant. And yes, I gave it a 'nice artwork' rating - the art is exact...

Nouni was one of those games in the Village in a Box Bundle that I really thought would just sit there collecting dust. The art is boring and there weren't any words to make the game more complex. T...
Always looking for an inexpensive game to add to the collection to fill the gaps between the several hour games. This looks like the perfect fit. This may be my first purchase from the Game Crafter.

This game is so simple and straight forward that you could play it with a 4-year old, and we did! That said, it's still got enough strategy, and more importantly viscousness, to keep gamers such as my...
